Outside Counsel For Businesses In Need Of In-House Counsel-Style Support

Every company could use a loyal, knowledgeable and readily available in-house lawyer from time to time. The benefits of in-house counsel may seem obvious. An in-house attorney:

• Knows a business well, inside and out
• Does not need much ramping-up time to begin work on a case
• Can resolve problems before they escalate to the level of potential litigation
• Is available on demand
• Does not trigger worries about sudden, unexpected legal costs
• Is an integral part of a business

While it is common for large corporations to employ in-house lawyers, smaller companies typically cannot. With an established on-call outside attorney to fill the role of an in-house attorney, they can enjoy many of the same advantages that in-house counsel has to offer.
